Rachel Swan Designs
Combining sterling silver, gemstones and
techniques such as doming and forging, Rachel’s
finished pieces have an extremely tactile quality.
Rachel Swan is a young, contemporary jewellery
designer from Dublin who studied fashion design and
administration. I wanted to do something more hands-on,
she says explaining how she first got involved in the
jewellery making business.
She decided to learn her craft at the workbench and joined Alan Ardiff as an apprentice. “The experience taught me how to hone my craft but also how the craft business is run – something you don’t learn in college and essential to survival in business.”
